Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old tech expert and former Ivy League student, was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, as a person of interest in last week’s killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Thompson was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel last week in what authorities are calling a coldblooded execution. While Mangione has not been charged, sources indicate he was found with a manifesto detailing grievances against the healthcare industry, including accusations of profiteering and unethical practices.
Law enforcement sources revealed Mangione’s online activity reflects anti-capitalist and climate-change ideologies, along with sharp criticism of the U.S. healthcare system. His Goodreads account features quotes from figures ranging from Socrates to “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, whose writings Mangione appeared to admire for their critiques of modern society and medicine.
Police said that manifesto included no specific threats to others but “it does seem he does have some ill will towards corporate America.”
Mangione has not been charged in Thompson’s death at this time.
A high-achieving student, Mangione graduated valedictorian of Baltimore’s elite Gilman School in 2016 before pursuing studies in artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania.
Investigators believe Mangione acted alone but have not confirmed a motive. The investigation is ongoing.
According to police, an employee at a local McDonald’s thought he looked suspicious and called police. Arriving officers noticed a fake ID so took him in for questioning.
Once at the police station, the sources said, officers discovered Mangione had a gun similar to the one used in Thompson’s killing, as well as a silencer and a fake New Jersey ID. The suspected gunman allegedly used a fake New Jersey ID when he checked into a Manhattan hostel last month.
Two senior law enforcement officials say Mangione had the name “Marc Rosario” on his fake NJ ID. Three sources familiar with the matter say the suspected gunman checked into the Upper West Side hostel using a fake NJ ID with the name “Marc Rosario.”

Toonaphish,
That joke made my day! 😂 thank you!
But seriously I think I understand why democrats are against guns, their voting numbers are down due to them using them then going to jail
does that mean that illegals can use ID’s to vote? or they dont even need ID to vote.
What’s especially annoying about this is that his apparent dislike of corporate America did not stop him from going to an Ivy League university and wearing obviously un-fair trade clothing. I hate hypocrisy.
He should be a capital.
Everyone needs health. What United Health did and is doing, goes beyond Capitalism.
I meant to say he should be a Kapora.
According to the left, you can do whatever you want to anyone you label as an oppressor.
He went to a Baltimore prep school with 40K tuition. So his parents spent half a million on “educating” this tachsheet to be a cold-blooded killer. Yeshivos make menschen, as the Chofetz Chaim said. What a difference!
How is that a white male exactly?!
“avowed leftist” – the guy comes from a Maryland Republican family and his cousin is a Maryland state representative.

For all we know he could be taking the rap for the real criminal. These days lots of innocent people are being framed and jailed by the deep state and of course the media are in on it. One never knows anymore.
Crazy
You know that not everyone follows their family’s political leanings so bringing in his family is totally irrelevant
